From the FAA’s Accident/Incident Data System (AIDS), through its Aviation Safety Information Portal, as reported. The NTSB investigates accidents separately, and its record of an accident is the fuller one. The aircraft is matched to the registry by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry’s history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model.

What happened

The FAA’s narrative, in sentence case. The FAA writes it in capitals and removes private details.

Narrative: while on approach into Sarasota, Florida, Mr. Briscuso states that when he moved the landing gear switch, he had several annunciator lights start to flash. The flashing lights distracted him and he failed to check the landing gear position lights. He completed the landing with the landing gear retracted.
